IMO, if the model is too dangerous for everyone to have access to, then no one should. I do not trust a for-profit company to be good stewards of such technology. Nor do I trust the government, any government.

They just exert pressure in different ways. "You want this big juicy government contract? Then you'd better follow our gag order."

It isn't just the proof. It's everything that leads up to that, including the interchange of ideas with other mathematicians.

In math, the journey is often more important than the destination. The process of developing a proof may uncover new mathematical techniques, some of which may have practical applications in other fields. Even an attempt that ends up as a d

But solving math problems is not the same as increasing understanding of math concepts.

Using AI to find a vulnerability is not a work of authorship. Using the AI generated text as your bug report would be, but if you use AI to find a bug, then write up a report yourself, I think that would be fine.

> The dairy ban covers whey protein, invert molasses, cane molasses and non-alcoholic beer, per notices on the White House's website. I think the authors of this ban are a little confused about what dairy is.

I can think of several reasons why an average person might be opposed to a merger (ex. less competition and the things that go along with that like higher prices and lower quality, and fear that products and services will be discontinued af

Authentication is precisely the problem DNSSEC is supposed to solve. And authentication is part of transport security. TLS usually does provide authentication. The certificate is signed by a chain that leads up to a trusted CA, and content

That provides privacy, but not authentication.

DoH only secures the connection between the DoH provider and the client, not the response from the authoritative DNS server. It also isn't sufficient for DANE or similar. So DoH doesn't completely solve the problems DNSSEC tried t

But google is also a monopsony. There isn't anyone else the researcher can ethically sell it to. They just have to take whatever bounty google decides to pay.

If the scan also included a picture, that was signed with your private key, then it would be harder to spoof.

Right but when you buy it, they tell you how long it is valid for. With video games it is often for some unknown amount of time, and of course they don't tell you that.

And if you buy a license, it should either have a fixed term that is clearly communicated, or should be forever, and transferrable, not "untile we decide we don't want you to have it anymore".

The problem is that even as a single number, unemployment just isn't a very useful metric. Unemployed + underemployed is probably closer to what people care about, but it would probably be better as two separate numbers, and even then

It's actually more like a really, really tall pyramid.

But the complaint isn't that Google won't process the payment. It's that they won't allow them to link to an OpenCollective donation page, and presumably OpenCollective would handle anything like that.

It could also be passed down through multiple siblings and possibly generations. And possibly the creation of it was itself a pasttime.

They have an incentive to maintain a perception that it is at least as safe with them as any of their competitors. That isn't quite the same thing as having an incentive to protect your privacy.

That doesn't really solve the problem. I've gotten PRs that do do an adequate job of explaining why why something should be implemented. Then I look at the code and it doesn't fully solve the problem, or it does so in a way t

One of the reasons I like building my own PC is that when I build it from parts, I don't have to pay then windows tax when I'm just putting linux on it. Although that doesn't work as well for laptops :( .

Relatedly, I think that GUI frameworks should make it easier to make your app fully keyboard driven. But my experience with making GUIs is that it seems harder than necessary to make an efficient keyboard-driven interface. And it should als

I don't disagree with any of that. The context for my comment was (paraphrased): GP: python has baggage because it is old P: that can be changed. Look at PHP Me: PHP still has baggage, despite its evolution. You can't really get r
